Abstract

Unusually large non-linear H-1 and N-15 nuclear magnetic resonance chemical shifts against pressure have been detected for individual amide groups of the Ras-binding domain of Rai guanine dissociation stimulator (GDS). The non-linear response is largest in the region of the protein remote from the Rap1A-binding site, which increases by about two-fold by the complex formation with its effector protein Rap1A. The unusual non-linearity is explained by the increasing population of another conformer (N'), lying energetically above the basic native conformer (N), at higher pressure. It is considered likely that the conformational change from N to N' in the Ras-binding domain of RalGDS works as a switch to transmit the effector signal further to molecules of different RalGDS-dependent signaling pathways.
